The search for Smooth continues. Here's an update from the blog:

"I did get a call this morning from a very kind lady who has seen Smooth several times. It was reassuring to learn that she lives just about 2 blocks from the new trap site. She said she wakes in the night and thinks about Smooth and the people looking for her. The kindness of the people in the area is almost overwhelming at times, and greatly appreciated.

There will be a new story in the newspaper tomorrow. They will probably get it online by 9 or 10, keep checking www.southernillinoisan.com

This does seem a little more hopeful, hearing this. Eventually, Smooth will be found, hopefully safe. Since she's a shy dog, though, she might be very wary of strangers, especially ones who know her name.

My big old goofball would be jumping up and hugging everyone in sight, we often joke that if she had a celebrity equal, it would be Reese Witherspoon from Legally Blonde.

Prayers for Smooth.
